Description
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of stress relief and stress management and in particular to devices which enable a user to relax and relieve the particular stress which the user is experiencing at any given moment.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Stress is a major cause of medical problems and can lead to serious medical conditions such as a stroke, heart attack, depression, etc. It is known by medical practitioners that stress is a major health issue and that approximately eighty percent (80%) of medical treatment visits are related to stress conditions. While psychologists and psychiatrists have attempted to treat stress with psychological counseling and medicines, these solutions are not readily available instantaneously to help an individual during a period of stress or anxiety. There is a significant need for a new and improved apparatus to instantaneously help a person to relieve their stress at any given moment.
The present invention is a stress management device which relates to the field of health and is a portable device with auditory messages. The device can be carried by a user and used privately with ear phones or can be auditory and used with speakers. The present invention relaxation device can be used as needed when tension arises, or on a regular basis as a way to prevent tension buildup that can contribute to health problems. The battery operated device is activated by the user and has sequential recorded messages that remind the user at his or her pace to relax and release physical and mental tension.
It has been discovered, according to the present invention, that if a stress relief apparatus which delivers relaxation messages in a desired sequence can be incorporated into a portable device which is activated by the user at any time, then a user can obtain instantaneous stress relief at any time and at any place through activation of the relaxation device.
It has further been discovered, according to the present invention, that a preselected series of relaxation messages delivered over and over can activate several parts of the brain to allow more awareness of the tension so it an be consciously released.
It has additionally been discovered, according to the present invention, that a portable device which delivers relaxation messages which causes the user to loosen the user's shoulders releases tension in the shoulder area where a large amount of tension usually builds up.
It has also been discovered, according to the present invention, that a portable device which delivers relaxation messages which causes the user to smile can release endorphins in the brain that can improve mood and increase energy.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a portable stress relief apparatus which delivers relaxation messages in a desired sequence and which is activated by the user at any time, so that a user can obtain instantaneous stress relief at any time and at any place through activation of the relaxation device.
It a further object of the present invention to provide a preselected series of relaxation messages delivered over and over to thereby activate several parts of the brain to allow more awareness of the tension so it an be consciously released.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a portable device which delivers relaxation messages which causes the user to loosen the user's shoulders to thereby release tension in the shoulder area where a large amount of tension usually builds up.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a portable device which delivers relaxation messages which causes the user to smile so that endorphins in the brain will be released to thereby improve mood and increase energy.
Further novel features and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, discussion and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the drawings.
Referring particularly to the drawings for the purpose of illustration only and not limitation, there is illustrated:
Although specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, it should be understood that such embodiments are by way of example only and merely illustrative of but a small number of the many possible specific embodiments which can represent applications of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications obvious to one skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains are deemed to be within the spirit, scope and contemplation of the present invention as further defined in the appended claims.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , there is illustrated one embodiment of the present invention relaxation device 10. The relaxation device 10 is enclosed in an exterior casing 12 having a front surface 14, a rear surface 16 and a circumferential sidewall 18 all of which serve to enclose an interior chamber 20. By way of example only, the casing can have a width “W” of approximately 2¾ inches and a length “L” of approximately 3¾ inches so that it can be easily fit in a person's shirt pocket, carried in a person's hand, or placed in a woman's purse.
Within interior chamber 20 is housed a circuit board 30, a schematic diagram of which is illustrated in FIG. 4 . The circuit board 30 is single sided 32 which can be 0.040 inch thick, 1.9 inches long and 0.55 inches wide, using through hole technology. The circuit consists of one 8 pin dip part 34, a radial lead electrolytic capacitor 36, a TO-92 package device 38, and a three ⅛ watt axial lead resistors 40, 42 and 44. Also housed within chamber 20 is an audio transducer having one 1.5 inch diameter 16 ohm speaker 46 which has its auditory sound transmitted through speaker openings 48 in front wall 14 of housing 12. An earphone jack 50 is also connected to the speaker 46 so that a person can privately listen to the auditory messages. The circuit is powered by two AAA batteries 52 housed in a battery compartment 54. The relaxation device 10 has a pushbutton activation switch 56 which can be built into the rear surface 16 as illustrated in FIG. 2 or can be the alternative 56A wired pushbutton activation switch.
Contained within the TO-92 package 38 is a chip which can contain a series of selected pre-recorded messages thereon. The chip includes a series of sequential recorded messages that remind the user at his or her own pace to relax and release physical and mental tension. By way of example, the prerecorded messages can be: (1) Now it's comfort time for you; (2) Take a deep breath up from your feet, breath in slowly 1, 2, 3,4-breath out slowly 5, 6, 7, 8; (3) Now relax your shoulders, let them drop; and (4) Now smile. Feel the release through your body. The messages can be set to automatically play one after the other or alternatively, each message can stop after it has been delivered and it is necessary for the user to press the activation switch in order for the next message to be played.
The actions that the messages describe activate several parts of the brain. The relaxing process allows more awareness of tension so it can be consciously released.
Deep breathing provides additional oxygen which is relaxing. Loosening the shoulders, where many people carry a large amount of tension can soothe the whole body and allows more physical awareness.
Smiling can release endorphins in the brain that can improve mood and increase energy.
Through use of the present invention, the person can have instantaneous access to stress relief at any time and at any location. The small portable battery operated compact devices enables it to be conveniently carried by a person so that a person can use it at any place and time, such as at home, during work, when on vacation, when on a business trip, before making a public appearance, before a sporting event, before meeting with teachers at school, etc. Through the novel stress release system of the present invention, the user can obtain instantaneous stress release at any time and for as long as the user desires.
